Compendium of Curiosities Challenge Week Nine and Simon Says Stamp!
We are looking a week "9" and page 42 for a crackling experience over at Studio L3! Linda each week takes us on a new adventure and some adventures are more enjoyable than others! This one for me, was one of the others!! Now I have done a ton of crackling, from decorative painting, plates and old beat up furniture. I have used numerous crackle products from single step to multi steps. My Distress Crackle is new and just opened for this lesson. It sounds like I am whining, doesn't it?? Anyone have some cheese? I am going to practice with this medium. However I got to the point of needing to do other things, so it is what it is and that is all she is writing! Oh the "LARGE" butterfly is another one of the new (not released) Sizzix dies! I wish I could have done her more justice! She was cut out on TH designer paper and you really can't see the background!!! The flowers are grunge paper. All in all, it was still fun and I think overall the card came out ok! Also am going to send this off to Simon Says Stamp for their Things with Wings Challenge, which I just read about on Lisa's blog!
The jar is a recycled plastic lotion container that I did a crackle job on. The leaves and rose petals are from my garden. The secretary desk was a piece of junk I picked up for $35 and took it a part to unwarp it and then crackled it!

Your crackle card is beautiful! I love how you lined up the pearls on the butterfly. I love your jar and dresser too! That dresser must have been a ton of work. I used to do lots with the flowers from my garden but never tried crackling them.
